This place has reopened after a fire and it used to be really good.
I went in with my wife on a Wednesday afternoon to try it again and was dissapointed. We purchased a large Cod and chips plus a standard "Prime" Cod and shared the chips between us and there were plenty of chips for two from the one portion. Total price was £14.60 which included tea for two and a slice of bread with spread each. Pensioner rates are available.
The fish was cooked but the batter was like a crisp shell with an eighth of an inch layer of uncooked soggy raw batter attached beneath and largely inedible.
We placed the batter upside down on a side plate and left it, on reflection we should have complained. I do not know if the fryer was a regular fully trained person but their cooking was not up to scratch. Good batter is an essential for this type of establishment.
The Cod itself was not as big as expected for the largest portion with the batter removed and the difference between the two portions was not greatly evident, the chips were well drained and tasty enough, the tea was good and the bread was from a standard white loaf.
The facilities were good enough as the place has been completely refurbished after the fire.
I was close to giving two stars but the fish was all eaten and the chips as well so we had what we went in for. I did miss the batter though! read more
